Good storage requires

A. High temperature and high relative humidity

B. Low temperature and high relative humidity

C. High temperature and low relative humidity

D. None of the above

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Good storage requires Low temperature and high relative humidity.
Fresh fruits and vegetables need low temperatures (32 to 55°F) and high relative humidities (80 to 95 percent) to lower respiration and slow metabolic and transpiration rates.
Low temperatures prevent the growth of microorganisms, the activity of enzymes and purely chemical reactions. Freezing prevents the growth of most foodborne microorganisms and refrigeration temperatures slow down the growth of microorganisms.
